“God is always and only good”
I read this and I immediately questioned whether I believed this or not.
There are instances in my life that I have wondered why, what were the reasons behind the things that have happened? But let me share one particular person with you and maybe it will shed some light.
In 1980, Michael was born. At that time I heard God clearly speak to me that I would live to see him totally healed and that every cell in his body would be changed. He would preach the word of God, and a few years ago God told me Michael would read and write one day. I am still holding onto this promise and I declare it will happen.
Michael has gone through a lot and yet he loves God with all his heart. He worships Him, and you can see the Holy Spirit all over him. Michael doesn’t talk much and at times he is in his own world. He doesnt have the friend relationships like many of us have, he chooses to trust those who care for him. He takes people at face value, no judging, no prejudices, just pure love for everyone until you hurt him, then he is still easily forgives. When you see Michael, you see a big smile, especially "family". Michael is as pure as it comes and he is filled with the love of God. He gets so excited for church or when you put on worship music the arms start flapping, the body starts moving and he is just grinning from ear to ear.
I use Michael as one example because some look at him and feel sorry for him, others look at him and wish they could have the joy he carries. When I look at Michael I see such a relationship with the Father and I see angels around him, so I cant help but want to tap into what he has. What does Michael have that keeps him in the presence of God? He doesn’t reason things out, he takes them at face value. He knows the presence of God.
I agree, God is always and only good. Whatever the circumstances this is a true statement. I will never understand why certain things happen but I choose to not take offense against God. Maybe I will be in that line to ask why when I see Him face to face, but somehow I don’t think it will matter by then.
(In school we are studying about Core Values. What are your core values? How do they affect you role in life, the life of others? Are you aware of them? Do you walk out purposefully in a value you hold dear to yourself?.)
they are known by their love and faith....
